HeHateMe, if you feel like getting your hands on an XLR for a bit, I may be out at the Oroville Clay Pits sometime during next week. I've got a few rounds loaded up and I've been dying for some trigger time.
Not sure how much longer you have on your wait time, but it's definitely worth the wait.
(Thats at the 565 yd back berm as quick as I could get back on target and rack the bolt)

Surgeon action, 20" (from recoil lug) SS Bartlein Barrel w/ 11.25" twist rate, #14 contour. Surefire muzzle brake. Jewell trigger. AICS 2.0. Action/bolt/barrel melonite treated and chambered/assembled by RW SNYDER gunsmithing. The leupold MRT 3-9 will have to do until the Schmidt & Bender gets in. That may take a while.
It was delivered yesterday AFTER I got home from the range. Boo!
I've waited a long time for this safe queen to come home. I ordered the first of the parts back in January.
Range report coming SOON!!!

Here is my Remington 700SPS in .308. I will be setting it up soon. I will be adding a Harris Bipod and probably a Bell & Carlson M40 stock. I will have to replace the scope first as the one I have is an old Tasco 3-9 power that I had sitting in the closet for a long time.

Thank you for the reply i could see myself at the range kore than in the field some people suggest the cheaper un notched version for the possible uneven surface. Anyone have a bias either way?

More importantly what should one consider when deciding between the 6 to 9 inch model or the 9 to 13 inch ?

I used to have the unnotched version and it was a pain to get it to a comfortable height. You only had two settings with it, minimum height and maximum height with nothing in between. The notched legs make it ideal for adjusting the bipod to the most comfortable height. I highly recommend spending the extra $25 and getting the notched legs.

I have the 6 to 9 and it's perfect for the range. I believe the 9 to 13 would be way to tall.

Man,keep em coming!!! I just put $$$ down on the elusive SPS tactical chambered in .308. Already looking at scopes and mount and ring. Heard these can go up to 600, but others swear with the right setup, 1,000 yards. Just starting out and should probably worry about 200 yards first huh?
